T all 107mm z't mag concem:

Be it known that we DITRICH San.gm1n and ALBERT KITSCHER, citizens of the Un1ted States, anal residing at Sa cramento, in the coun ty of Sacramento and State of Califorma, have invented certain new an l useful Improvements 1n P1ctureFrames of knockdown structure.

Which the following is a specifiction.

This invention relates to frames ancl more particularly to ornamental pieture frames mountecl in bass and has for 011g of its objects the rovision of a device of 'this character thal; Will be aoljustably mounted in its-base.

Another object is the provision of a device of the character described thatmaly be adjustably supported from the ordinany pictu1e molding.

A still further object is to provide a de- V1ce of the dass de'scribeol that Will be' of Other objects such as simplicitydurability, cheapness in manufacture and. the genoral improvement of the art Will be brought 25 out inthe following specification and illustrated. in Which:

Figure 1 is a front elevation of our device, Fig. 2 is 21 view on the line 21-2 of Fig. l, -Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of our device having a foldable shelf,

Fig.4 is a detail end view pa rtlylorokein away, and Fig. 5 is, an end view showing 21- metal rod for supporting the device.

Referring more particularly to the draw= ings the numerall 1 designates the base hav: ing an aperture 2 form6'd therein, the aparture 2 having a cor1cave 'botton1 surface.

A revoluble bearing member 3 is mounted in the a perturg2 and is held therein loy pivots 4 passing through apertures 5 in the ends of thebase member 1.

Frames 6 have pivot lugs 7 mounted in their lower ends. The 111gs 7 are adapteol to be insertecl in apertures 8 in member 3, thus giving the frames 21 cl0uble pivotal mount- In F ig. 3 WG have shown our invention with a, foldable shelfor book rack monted on the under side. This rack comprises side pieces 9 hingedly mounted ab 10and a shelf 11 mounted in slots 12 in the side piees 9.

In this figure WG have also shown the me-ans for adjustably suppo1ting the frames from duplex of this patenl: nxay be obtained tor flve cents each, by addressing the Whingtbnb. 0

In Fig. 5 we have shown anotlier means of supporting our frames from picture molding. It consists 01? a meta l rod 16 bent to engage and support the base 1 ancl having its free encl bent to form a hook 17 whichis adapted 130 engage ordinary picture molding.

This rod 16 may be of polished metal o1 Inay be coloreoltb match the Wall 21gainst which 111 rests.

Having thus described our invention what we claim is:

1. In Combination with 21 pieture frame 21 supporting base provided in its vlop with 21 longitudinal recess having 21 curved bottom and terminating short ofthe ends of the base, 21 beari11g niember partially revolble 'Within saicl recess, pivot members extending through the ends of said base am], into said bearingmember, and 21 trunnion extending from the bottom edge of said fran1e anol disposed in a socket in saidbearing member wher eby said frame may be horizontally rotated, fsaid frame and bearing member being -vertic1lly tiltable.

2 In combination with dpicture frame', a hor1zontal base {arovioled in its top with a,

longitudinal recess terminating short of the encls there'of ancl havingg s emi-cylindrical bottom and vertical side and end Walls, 11 bear1r1g member disposed in said. recess ancl compmsing a Cylindrical l0wer portion fitt1'11g. within the semi-cylindrical bottom of said recess and 21 red uced upper portion spaced from the vertical sides of said. recess, pivot pins extencling through the ends 0f said base and centrally into the ends of said bearing member, and 21 trunnion Xt2nding d0wnwardly from the centerofjthe bottom edge of said frame and disposecl in a 4 vertmal socket in the center of said bearing member,-said frame being horizontally rotatable and said frafme and bearing member together being vertically p1vots.
